| Re: Heating biodiesel in cold weather
Thanks for the comments. The vechile is a 1980 hilux and toyota went to a different set up with there water traps in the mid 80s sometime. The later model water traps are part of the fuel filter with the float on the bottom. I think some jap import nissans are the same. I havent tryed to fit a light bulb to one of the late model filters but I think the process would be the same, you can get smaller light bulbs with the same wattage if space is an issue. I think it would work better with a late model filter as the heat would be going straght into the filter melting any gell more quickly. I use to have a switch on the dash, But I just left in on all the time and the ute goes better with warm fuel, so i got rid of the switch. I wasnt happy with the wireing in the fuel, but is hasnt been an issue so far. |

Sorry, should have commented. Looks good, but I have a standard filter set-up for a Gen.2 Surf and it wouldn't fit. If I could get one like yours, I'd probably install it, as it would be much cheaper for filter elements, and even a primer. Well done!
